Faith, Freedom, and Foreign Policy: Recommendations for the Next President

Volume 14, No. 2, Summer 2016

Over the last 15 years U.S. foreign policy has graduated beyond entry-level debates over whether “religion matters.” Tentative initial forays have given way to more sophisticated analysis of how to best to understand and engage the relevance of religion generally—and religious freedom specifically—in urgent matters of defense, development, diplomacy, and the foreign policy making process. The summer 2016 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs is a special election-year issue featuring analyses and recommendations by leading experts. The issue aims to add to the next presidential administration’s acumen on some of today’s most complex global contexts that demand holistic, strategic approaches.

Orthodox Christianity and Humanitarianism

Volume 14 , No. 1, Spring 2016

Orthodox Christians worldwide are part of the analytical, operational, ethical, and empirical debates and discussions of humanitarianism. Yet, there is a significant lacuna regarding Orthodox Christianity in the emerging literature on religion and humanitarianism. As response to this gap in the scholarly and policy literatures, a colloquium brought together practitioners and scholars in the spring of 2015 to explore the theological resources and institutional experiences of Orthodox Christianity in comparative contexts and cases of humanitarianism. Select papers are published as a special package in the spring 2016 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs.
